Tevaughn Campbell is one of two Canadians to start as an NFL cornerback since the 1960s. But before he could make history, @TevaughnsC had to emerge from Scarborough's metro housing & the politics of the CFL. Read his story in this first person essay.

Proud of this op-ed! Please feel free to read and share
As an on-ice official, Rico Phillips sees hockey from a different perspective. When the @OHLHockey cancelled its 2020-2021 season, @Ricoflealips watched the future of young athletes hang in the balance. It's a lesson on privilege that he hopes we never forget.

@CFL all-star, and @sskroughriders WR, @shaq_evans1 has stayed ready for his moment all his life. Despite his recent setback, we are all ready for his major comeback.
#FridayNightFootball is finally BACK in Canada.
Olympic bronze medallist, @kvincent96 made history among the 1st female canoe paddlers to compete in the @Olympics. After advocating to get the sport into #Tokyo2020, she didn't stop there. Instead, Katie won a bronze medal and continued to blaze a trail for women in the sport.
To hear her story and the journey she's had to get to #Tokyo2020, check out her first-person story written here: theparkjournal.com/previous-…
Alysia Rissling (@alysiarissling) has pushed past frustration and doubt to get into a bobsled. Read how the University of Alberta alumnus helped break the gender barrier in an Olympic sport once described as a “Boys Club”.
When the CFL cancelled its 2020 season, star receiver @shaq_evans1 was overcome with a familiar feeling. This wasn't his first time losing football. In his own words, Shaq opens up about injuries, a faulty drug test, and a lesson in staying ready.

Congratulations to our guy, @coopercoats, on his first cap with @RugbyCanada Men’s 15’s team last weekend.

The Montreal Canadiens faced near impossible odds to reach the Stanley Cup Finals. Former NHL defenseman Mike Weaver (@mikeweaver_43) remembers a similar playoff run in 2014 and the weight of carrying the torch for such a historic franchise.

“A good story is exactly what these Habs have told, at least up until now. They face long odds (below that fated 25% mark) in the Stanley Cup Finals against the defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning, a juggernaut of a hockey team replete with top-end talent…”Cont’d.
